3.

4. The holder of a commercial acceptance bill of a certain company had defects in their basic legal relationship.

5. Jiang, a senior executive of a large state-owned company in Hangzhou, is suspected of bribery and has been investigated by the People's Procuratorate of a certain district in Hangzhou. After nearly a year of efforts by the Fang Zhihua legal team, the procuratorate believes that there is insufficient evidence and has withdrawn the case.
6. Jiang (female) is the main defendant in the crime of organizing prostitution, and the public prosecution has identified her as the principal offender. After strong defense by Lawyer Fang Zhihua, the court supported Lawyer Fang's opinion not to list Jiang as the main culprit. Jiang was ultimately given a lenient sentence of eleven years in prison, while the other main offenders were sentenced to death with a reprieve or life imprisonment.

9. The People's Procuratorate of a certain district in Hangzhou has filed a public prosecution against Xu and others for the crime of kidnapping. Lawyer Fang Zhihua, after carefully reviewing the case files, believes that there was indeed a dispute between Xu and the victim during the early gambling process. Based on this, they controlled the victim and demanded compensation for huge losses, without any subjective intention of kidnapping. According to the basic principle of consistency between subjective and objective factors, this case should not be classified as kidnapping. The People's Court fully adopted the viewpoint of Lawyer Fang Zhihua and determined that the defendant did not constitute the crime of kidnapping, and sentenced him to be punished for the crime of illegal detention as a minor offense.
10. Wang, a senior executive of a bank in Hangzhou, took advantage of his position to obtain the victim's deposit secrets. Based on this, he forged his ID card and went to other banks in the same system to report the loss of deposit certificates and withdraw funds. The People's Procuratorate of a certain district in Hangzhou filed a lawsuit for fraud to the court. Lawyer Fang Zhihua, after carefully studying the case, proposed that Wang used his official position to carry out this case, and the element of his official position had a huge impact on the success of the crime. Therefore, it is appropriate to punish him for the crime of embezzlement of official position. The defense viewpoint was adopted by the second instance court and ultimately received a lighter punishment for the crime of embezzlement of official duties.
11. Huang and Gong jointly invested to establish Hangzhou Investment Management Co., Ltd., which acts as an agent for overseas companies to conduct "24-hour online platform gold spot trading", with hundreds of clients. A district branch of Hangzhou Public Security Bureau reported the arrest of Huang and Gong on charges of contract fraud, and based on this, determined the direction of investigation. The lawyer team of Fang Zhihua insists that the investigation direction determined by the investigating authority is incorrect, and this case should not be classified as contract fraud. However, it may constitute illegal business operations. After multiple communications with the investigating authority and reasonable arguments, the district procuratorate changed it to fraud and submitted it to the Hangzhou People's Procuratorate for review and prosecution. After multiple communications between the lawyer team of Fang Zhihua and the prosecutors, the Hangzhou People's Procuratorate finally determined that the crimes of contract fraud and fraud were not established, and instructed the district procuratorate to prosecute for illegal business operations. Later, the case was reported internally by the district court to the intermediate court and then to the provincial high court for determination. The case can be punished for the crime of illegal business operation. The district court ultimately sentenced the crime leniently.

He has been investigated by the procuratorial organs. Multiple recalculations of the investigation period, reporting to the higher-level People's Procuratorate to extend the investigation period, and a series of legal procedures such as secondary supplementary investigation. During the first instance trial, the trial was postponed again. After the first instance judgment, the defendant appealed and the procuratorial organ protested. After the second instance trial, the case was remanded back to the first instance court for retrial. After the retrial verdict, the defendant appealed again and the second trial was conducted again before the effective judgment was made. It took 34 months from the case filing and investigation, the suspect being detained to the final effective judgment. Fang Zhihua's lawyer team always sticks to the front line of defense work and makes outstanding contributions to safeguarding the legitimate rights of suspect and defendants. Considering the final verdict of this case, there were obvious legal obstacles in both factual determination and legal application. With the efforts of Lawyer Fang Zhihua's team, all parties eventually compromised and settled the case with Zhang being "seriously ill and not imprisoned". This case has completed all the main procedures stipulated in China's Criminal Procedure Law, which is truly rare!
